A first birthday is absolutely a reason to get fancy. Little Miss Adleigh Ann's first birthday is a big deal! She has a lot to celebrate after all, she made it through 1 whole exciting year of being a baby. You know the more you think about it, it’s hard work being a baby… learning, growing, changing by the minute, relying on others for everything. But as she hits this milestone, things are going to get even more exciting!
So, yes! Put on that fancy tutu, fasten a giant bow to those lovely locks, rock the glitter and chase some balloons baby! It’s your FIRST birthday!
First birthdays are not only a huge deal for baby, they are extremely important to the parents as well. It’s a celebration for mom and dad for surviving a very trying year together. A new baby comes with many adjustments, lack of sleep, overwhelming emotions and lots of unexpected changes. New routines can feel chaotic. Simple tasks have now become stressful. ie. taking a shower! Anyone that has children totally knows what I’m talking about here. And the more babies you bring home, the more challenges you face. But you know what else comes with it? JOY! So much joy! Oh the joy people!! I mean look at her little face… she’s just so happy. I want to live in that happiness with her, don’t you?
Adleigh’s mom and dad are my heros. You see, she is baby number 3 for them and they model such grace and patience, it’s truly amazing to witness. I’ve had the privilege of knowing this family for several years now and they have been such a blessing to me. It was my honor to photograph this precious milestone for them. And their little girl was just so sweet… I had so much fun hanging on the floor with her, chasing balloons, singing songs, playing peek-a-boo (mostly with myself ha ha) and helping her mama with her fancy outfits. Babies are the best.
If you are thinking about documenting a special milestone in your family’s life, let’s talk! The days go fast, the years even faster. Relationships change, children grow, new life begins and loved ones pass on… photography is the most accessible way to preserve those family bonds. For more info, head to my contact page.
